"Alien: Romulus" Teaser Reveals Practical Creature Effects
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Dark Horizons
Director Fede Alvarez reveals that "Alien: Romulus" will heavily rely on practical effects, with the film featuring creatures brought to life through animatronics and puppets, and the Weyland-Yutani spaceship built using real sets. Alvarez emphasizes the minimal use of green screens and a balance between the utilitarian aesthetic of the original "Alien" and the advanced high-tech of "Prometheus." Set twenty years after the first film, the story follows young space colonisers encountering a terrifying life form in a run-down space station. The film, starring Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, and Archie Renaux, is set to release on August 16th.
